Pecan Pumpkin Butter
@ William Sonoma
So we're going to go with a pumpkin theme, because it's fall and I'm feeling super original. Ripe pumpkin, pecans, sugar, and spices all in one tasty spread. Eat it right from the jar, or host a fancy dinner party and decorate some banal crackers.

Pumpkin Spice Loaf
@ Desmond and Beatrice
They say this is the season for warm sweaters, falling leaves, and pumpkin loaves. This moist loaf is a must on any autumn eaters list. Pairs well with a cup of warm apple cider and a cute boy and/or girl.

Pumpkin Beer
Nightmare on Millstreet @ Mill Street Brewery
Okay so beer isn't food, but I would argue it can be a meal. This is a limited edition beer that only comes out in autumn, so get it whilst it's available. Delicious pumpkin pie, spices, and hoppy flavour, all in one bottle.

Eat To The Beat
@ Roy Thompson Hall
A mecca for urban foodies, this event highlights the talents of 60 female chefs, with a portion of the money going towards supporting women with breast cancer. Not a black tie affair however I wouldn't recommend you wear converse. If this sounds like your thing click here for more information.

Growers Pumpkin Spice Cider
@ The Wine Rack
This is only here for autumn so I suggest you run here and drink as many bottles as ye can. A delicious spin on cider, can be served both cold and warm. I can see it now, you, a cup of pumpkin spice cider, leaves falling off of trees, maybe you even break out into a spontaneous dance...

Spiced Pumpkin Roti
@ One Love Vegetarian
Okay did your life just get a little better? Okay, well at very least your autumn just did. Available year round but c'mon we all know this dish was made for October days. A perfect blend of spice and a creamy pumpkin filling. Ugh you had me at creamy pumpkin.

Pumpkin Soup
@ Jean's Vegetarian Kitchen
Another autumn must try. More of a hidden gem tucked away on the Danforth, this is a place for vegetarians and their meat eating friends. The pumpkin soup cannot disappoint in these colder times. Priced at $4 you really have nothing to lose.
